About this episode

Brad Beeler shares insights from his 25 years in the U.S. Secret Service, discussing interrogation techniques and deception detection.

Brad Beeler spent 25 years in the U.S. Secret Service, working some of the most intense investigations in the country while also protecting presidents and high-profile targets. In this episode, Brad breaks down the truth about lie detector tests, what polygraphs actually measure, and how investigators use them to secure confessions. He shares real interrogation tactics, how agents read behavior and spot deception, and the psychological techniques used to get suspects to talk. We also dive into counterfeit money cases—how fake bills are detected, tracked, and tied back to criminals—and what really goes on behind the scenes in these federal investigations. _____________________________________________ #SecretService #LieDetector #Polygraph #Interrogation #TrueCrime #FederalAgent #CrimeInvestigation #LawEnforcement _____________________________________________ Connect with Brad Beeler: https://bradleybeeler.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop…
